How the CSA Industry 4.E help Industry4.E related projects and programmes achieve their full synergistic potential

CSA Industry4.E consortium

Outlining how the Coordination Support Action (CSA) will support and facilitate the goals of the Industry4.E Lighthouse Initiative through proactive actions designed to promote an environment in which projects and stakeholders can more readily network, interact and cooperate. By identifying and capitalising on complementary opportunities in strategic planning, networking and coordination between initiatives across Europe, this CSA will help Industry4.E related projects and programmes achieve their full synergistic potential. Additionally, by improving standardisation, dissemination, public awareness and communications, the CSA will help raise the profile of Industry4.E issues and so create a culture in which the 4th Industrial Revolution may thrive.

20 Nov @ 15:10-15:30

Interoperability Coordination Forum (ICF)

ICF

The increasing connectivity and integration further drives the importance of interoperability, for development environments and operational phases; many projects and efforts will need interoperability in one way and or another. In order to avoid recreating the wheel too often, it becomes essential to disseminate what has been achieved so far and stimulate critical mass efforts that build upon and leverage useful existing results and standards.

21 Nov @ 10:30-10:50

Democratizing robotics integration

SAP

There is a new generation of robots, so-called service robots or “cobots”. They are human safe and intelligent, they can work side-by-side with humans and they cost about a quarter of what traditional robots cost. This makes them interesting to SMEs and to environment with one-off tasks.

Yet, programming and integrating them remains expensive. This is the problem SAP addresses jointly with a major partner. There will be a Robotics cloud platform released that makes these robots smart, providing cartography and artificial intelligence, effectively providing spatial intelligence, recognition of 4D workspaces and objects. The effort provides plug-and-play with SAP applications. Independent from a given robot manufacturer, 3rdparty developers can deploy the very same software container to any robot (E.g., for route optimization). This makes robot deployment and access to machine learning, cartography, and many other services incredibly inexpensive and easy for users in industry and research.

5G_GaN2

The fifth generation (5G) communications technologies will provide internet access to a wide range of applications: from billions of low data rate sensors to high resolution video streaming. The 5G network is designed to scale across these different use cases and will use different radio access technologies for each use case.

To support very high data rates 5G will use wide bandwidth spectrum allocation at mm-wave frequencies. The offered bandwidth at the mm-wave frequencies (above 24 GHz) is more than 10 times as large as that in the lower bands (sub 6 GHz). However, the move to mm-waves comes at a cost – increased path loss. This makes it extremely challenging to provide coverage at mm-wave frequencies.

A partial remedy is to use beamforming to direct the radio energy to a specific user. For some deployment scenarios beamforming is not enough and the output power must also be increased. A major challenge is to bring affordable, high-performance mm-wave active antenna arrays into production. There is currently a market pull for this systems but there exists a capability gap.

5G_GaN2 project will substantially lower the cost and power consumption, and increase the output power of mm-wave active antenna systems. The maximum output power and energy efficiency results will be possible thanks to the use of advanced Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology. In addition, low-cost packaging techniques for digital applications will be further developed to reach the cost and integration targets.

The capabilities of the developed technology will be shown in a set of demonstrators. The application driven demonstrators will be used to guide the technology development towards maximum impact and exploitation in the post project phase. The consortium spans the complete value chain: from wafer suppliers, semiconductor fabrication and system integrators. In addition, key universities and research institutes guarantees academic excellence throughout the project.

61. SUPERAID7

SUPERAID7

Among the physical limitations which challenge progress in nanoelectronics for aggressively scaled More Moore, process variability is getting ever more critical. Effects from various sources of process variations, both systematic and stochastic, influence each other and lead to variations of the electrical, thermal and mechanical behavior of devices, interconnects and circuits. Correlations are of key importance because they drastically affect the percentage of products which meet the specifications. Whereas the comprehensive experimental investigation of these effects is largely impossible, modelling and simulation (TCAD) offers the unique possibility to predefine process variations and trace their effects on subsequent process steps and on devices and circuits fabricated.
